MLA Bijoy Koijam today declared that he would not fight in the forthcoming election if he is denied the Congress ticket.
Speaking at the inaugural function of a community hall at Thongju Pt-II Konak Khongnangkhong, the MLA asserted that in the current term of SPF government, the Chief Minister had appointed him as Dy Chairman of the State Planning Board and if the CM is pleased with his work, he will contest the election as a Congress nominee again.
He said, if he is elected on a Congress ticket and if the party returns to power, he is sure to get a ministerial berth.
If he misses getting a cabinet post in the next term, he will not contest elections anymore, Bijoy further announced.
After handing over the community hall to the public, the MLA distributed money to the Meira Paibis and groups of local people who had been engaged in development works with MLA's Local Area Development funds.
